Environmental toxicology professionals deal with understanding and assessing the effects that various chemicals dumped into natural waterways have on the ocean’s ecosystem, as well as the water itself. What you might not know is that the things you take for granted and nonchalantly throw away could be poisoning the world’s oceans.

Oil

When it comes to the topic of water pollution, oil spills are among the most commonly talked about culprits, and for good reason. Oil spills typically happen on a grand scale as it typically involves oil tankers or rigs that leak out millions of gallons of petroleum products into a delicate ecosystem of corals, fish, and other marine life. However, oil pollution in the water also happens on a smaller scale whenever homeowners nonchalantly dispose of oils and grease through their sinks.

Medical malpractice is a serious crime that could potentially destroy the career of an established medical professional, so you might see why there’s simply no room for an error in judgment when practicing medicine. Note that most courts will deny or dismiss a malpractice case when there is no reliable medical expert witness to take the stand either for or against the accused.

On Medical Malpractice

A case for medical malpractice could be brought to court once the plaintiff believes that the negligence of a particular medical practitioner has brought about further physical injury, or worse, the death of another. Common medical malpractice cases include instances of misdiagnosis, erroneous dosage application, treatment faults, or even aftercare negligence.

Hair
is made up of keratin, a strong structural protein that comprises
three parts, the medulla, the cortex, and the cuticle. Beyond its
anthropological and biological meaning, this biomaterial has the
ability to store what passes through the body. That’s why the
courts use hair testing as a way to remove a person from suspicion or
connect certain suspects with criminal activity. Forensic
toxicologists are the people responsible for the analyzing of hair
for the courts.
